To test the validity-related evidence of a child and a parent symptom survey developed by the Convergence Insufficiency and Reading Study (CIRS) group.A case comparison method was used to measure differences in symptoms between 14 school-aged children (ages 8 to 13 years) with Convergence Insufficiency (CI) and 14 children with normal binocular vision (NBV).A pooled t-test indicated that CI children and their parents scored higher than the NBV children and their parents on the child's survey (p0.001) and parent's survey (p0.001), respectively. CI children also scored significantly higher (p0.03) on the Conners' Rating Scale for Parents.The results suggest that the CIRS symptom survey is a valid instrument for differentiating CI children from those with normal binocular vision. Additionally, children in this age group were able to respond to a broad range of symptom questions associated with CI. |
